HELP! 442M rims & tires fit F10 528i XDrive

2011n55 · 10-06-2022, 06:28 PM

I have the opportunity to buy my neighbours 442M rims and tires which came off of his 4 series. The tire sizes are 225/40/19 fronts, 255/35/19 rears. My 528i came with 245/45/r18 square setup. I am wondering if the 442M rims and tires will fit on my 5 series and if anyone has ran a similar set up. I have attached a picture of the rims and tires.

Nice wheels. To give you a a somewhat reasoned response, I'd like to know the offsets for the wheels, which should be stamped on the backside on one of the arms of each wheel. My hunch is that 3 and 4 series cars have higher offsets and therefore installing those wheels without spacers, especially on the front wheels, might not clear your suspension. Additionally, if the wheels did work, you would probably want to change the tires to stock sizes (245/40/19 and 275/35/19) as they would then be a little larger in both diameter and track width.

Where in BC are you located?

They are narrower with a higher offset so they’ll be quite sunken without spacers. I wouldn’t recommend it.

Note the 8.5” width won’t allow you to run the stock 275 wide rear tyres either

Thank you for the responses, I have decided against going through with this setup, because as stated the offset of the 4 series rims will not work with a 5 series. Appreciate the help!
